Thank you, I’ve got a couple more rivys found. Hopefully I can get them bought. We have had 2 t-birds, and ran only one of them. Cut the cross member out and put an 80s Vic crossmember in backwards for the rear steer and lower Aarms. Worked well. A lot of work though Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of it.

We were running a DP in that car at the time. Wanted a beefier crossmember for the motor. Plus it’s wider, took up a lot of space inside the frame rails when we burnt it in. If you can imagine the factory how that small tube for the engine cross member is tied in, imagine a Vic crossmember or something even stronger would be like. It would be hard to do it these days and get it in with a promoter knowing how it’s supposed to look.

Just staring at it, and the light bulb went off. 🤙🏻 That's usually how I am. If I'm left alone and stare at one long enough my brain starts calculating and figuring like hmm if I change this to this or swap this with that it'll do this. Recently while working on my 74 tbird I'm looking at the front end and my brain just decides I wonder if any at all would the benefit be if you cut the horns right before the downward bend and flip them so they're actually up and would be more of a levelish line. Needless to say I didn't do it but definitely pondered it

If you could find them I'd be interested to see what that looks like
